OF  RAILROADS.  <» 

The  magniflcent  system  of  railroads  which  ftow  spieads  like  a  net  all  over 
the  States,  from  the  Atlantic-ocean  to  the  Missouri  river,  is  eoscntially  tho 
woJ^^f  tl^  laf-t  decennium.  Up  to  1830,  but  oilo  railway  connected  the 
great  ihterijr  lakes  with  the  tide  water,  and  that  wns  restricted  .  in  the 
carriage  of  freght  except  on  the  payment  of  canal  tolls."  Provious  to  'ho 
commencement  of  the  last  decade,  by  tar  the  greater  proportion  cf  railways 
were  in  the  Atlantic  States —isohited  Hnes  for  local  traffic.  There  was  then 
but  one  important  line  in  the  V/est —  a  rude -construction,  dev«*ted  tr)  tho 
carrying  trade  and  manslaugter,  bctiveen  Cincinnati  and  Sandusky.  What 
iu  1850  was  without  form  and  void,-  so  far  as  purposes  of  general  internal 
commerco  wore  concerned,  i-^  now.r<yiuced*  to  sha['e  and  system,  whereby 
seller  and  buvcr\  though  half  wa.y  acruss  the  continent  apart,  can  trade  lika 
neighbors.  By  m.>aBS  of  tha  vact.  web  of  railways  oonslrnctcd  during  the 
dccad-),  the  ii  ternational  cwnmorco  of  the  country  hx*  (frown  into  stupen- 
dous proportions.  The  tonnags  per  annum  of  the  railways  c<.mleted  in 
1860  is  estimated  at  20,000,000  ton.",  v;i.lued  at  83,9:^-0, 000; 000.  Three 
cjnty^rs  of  this  hug-e  internal  commerce  has  been  created  since  1850.  It  is 
the  chiid  of  American  railway  system— a  trade  among  our  own  peopJe, 
larger  than  that  at«take  when  George  III,  in  his  endeavor  to  control  tha 
triuie,  lo^t  both  trade  and  p.eoplo  of  Ms  American  folonies.

G  THE  CONFEDERATE  STATES  ALMANAC 

THE  SLAVE  AN^  FREE  STATES  CONTRASTED. 

Wherever,  ill  the  States?,  the  people  have  enjoyed  the  advantafj;©  of 
slave  labor,  they  have  be»n  distinguished  by  their  general  iiidiiRtrial 
prosperity  nnd  superiority  in  wealth  and  social  happiness  over  similar 
communitios,  which  have  not  enjoyed  the  use  of  slave  labor. 

''hroughont  all  tlu.  slixvs  holding    States  those   couutieG  which   have 
the  greatest  araouut  of  slave   labor  have  attained  a  higher  degrro  of 
perity  than  any  other  counties  in  the  Unite  J  States,  either  Norlli  or 
iih. 

Iiroughoutthe  slave  labor,  or  more  properly  mixed  labor  States,  thofo 

counties  which  approximate  nearest  to  the  condition  of  the   white  1  ibor 

States  by  huviii;^  the  smallest  number  ol  nej^ro  slave  laborers,  are  in  the 

^^  t  backward- condition,  as  to   general    prosperity  and  social  progress, 

contribute  lea-st  to   the  Support  of  government^*  education  and  rc- 

•n- 

.s  arnatter  of  common  observation  by  travelers  and  business  men,  it 
.y  be   stated   that  of  all   social  institutions  which  have  ever  been  do- 
vised   for   improving    the    coudiliou  of  society,  and  especially  of^tho  la- 
boring population  —for  checking    the   progress  of  pauperism  crime,  aud 
'  -oaso — for  streiigtheninor  the  spirit  of  conatitutional    liberty,  and  pro- 
i.ing  the  growth    and    diffusion  of  sincere    religion,    and  of  tha    spirit 
rieudship  and    brother-hood  araon^    men,  negro  slave  labor  has  been 
most  tfBciont. 

riiroughont  the  mixed  labor  States  the  burthens  of  Government, 
education,  etc.,  ere  chiefly  snpporled  by  those,  comities  which  havd  a 
liberal  supply  of  f-lave  labor. 

There  is  noLhing  ppeculaiiv©  or  uifbertain    in    liie   vast  agjEe^atcB  of 

wealth  produced  by  slave  labor.     It  is  an  inexhaustible  supply  of  wealth. 

The  annual  agricoltural   productiau  of  the  mixed    labor   States  forms  a 

greater  iiggregafe    of  value  than    the    agricultural   prpductiona  of  tha 

whole  wliite  labor    S'ates,    with  twice  the   population  o(  white  laborers. 

it  may,  therefore,  be  justly  affirmed  that  agriculture  in  the  mixed  lebor 

Mates   is  far  more  productive  to  the  citizens,   in  ])roportioii  to  the   uuin-

da  jts,  in  wkick  th«rr««  labor  Stales  excel,  but  far  lesa  tl\ixa  isf  commciily 
gupposed. 

Mixed  labor. States  are  naturally  more  favorable  to  education  aud 
,  rclijrioa  than  exclusively  free  labor  States.  Free  labor  communitios  aro 
iihvay*  prevented  by  poverty  from  doing  fud  justice  to  emicdtiou  by 
j)riya'e  action,  and  are  never  ;xenora!ly  educated  excep_t  by  the  authority 
of  Government.  ^  *  ^  llie  excess  of  puupers  in  the  free  labor^ 
States  in  1850  was  11. "^,708,  and  ibeir  excess  of  convicted  criminals  was, 
in  the  sixteen  froe  labor  States,  19,4;«9.  When  in  the  course  of  a  few 
generations,  the  mixed  Ubor  States  shall  have  bcarrcly  one  illiterate  in 
li^e  hundred,  the  free  labor  Stales  will  iiave  a  million  of  paypers  and 
eiin)inals,  and  in  every  reverse  of  trade  a  fur  greater  nuniber. 

The  assertion  that  slave  labor  is  nnfavovable  to  the  spread  of  religion, 
ia  anodier  of  those  reckless  asserl'ons  which  are  believed,  like  the  un- 
profitablene.^s  of  slave  labor  and  other  falsehoods  of  the  same  group. 
The  truth  is  that  negro  slavery  has,  in  the  U«ited  States,  never  hinder- 
ed, but  always  favored  religion,  and  hss  been  the  means  of -civilizing 
and  i>f  thoroughly  Christianizing  about  twice,  as  many  of  the  heathen 
race*  as  all  the  missionary  enterprises  of  ;tll  Protestant  Christendom 
cu)i)binod.  The  negro  race  must  either  pass  ihrough  the  apprenticeship 
of  elavcry  nnder  the  white  race,  to  attain  civilization  or  religion,  or  they 
must  in  time  utterly  parish,  like  other  barbarians.  In  the  mixed  labor 
Stales,  religion  has  been,  perhaps,  hindered  in  iff  propacation  by  the 
vastness  of  their  territory  and  sparsseness  of  rtieir  population.  Never- 
thele.w,  they  are  not  behind  any  olher  people  in  the  evidences  of  piety. 
-  Under  the  delusive  idea  that  African  slavery  v/as  prejudicial  to  the 
welfare  of  the  white  race,  the  experiment  of  abolishing  negro  slavery 
was  tried  in  the  Northern  States  on  a  smn!!  scale — too  small  for  the 
conimunity  to  feel  it  as  a  calamity  or  to  know  its  true  result  except  by 
careful  investigation.  "\V©  see  one  result  in  tho  fact  ttiat  the  most 
Northern  States  aro  the  poorest,  and  pauperism  i--*  coniinualiy  encroach- 
ing upon  their  laboring  populatio.i,  notwitlistanding  their  laborious  iu- 
diL^lry  and  pinching  economy. 

We  see  also  that  tlie  emancipated  negroes'are  a  blighted  race-     Thoy 
perish   from  poverty,   vice  and    igncrancej    and  the  loss  of  the  friendly 
care  of  while  families.      From  1790^o    1850   they  have  increfi-sed,  with 
all  the   additions  by  fugitifes  t^nd  by  emancipJiuon-  probably  30,000  or 
40,000— only  from  67,479  to  196,026,   while  the  slave  negBo  population 
in  the  sajuo    time  has    increased  .'"rom    657,257  to  3,204,31.3.    Had  llio 
emancipation   folly  been  embraced  by  all  tho  States  at  tho  commoucj- 
nicni  of  our  national  existence,    and   produced    similar  results  in.  all,  Ukn 
number  of  the    negro  population    would  have  been   ia  lS50„not3,':

existence   l,246,9Gl  victims    in  the    j'.ame  of  p^ulanthropy,  and  th. 
vivor*would  have  been,  not  tho  useful,  orderly,  and  largely  Chrisliu

En  route  in  the  Boston  sr.caitains,  Shelby  attacked  sixty 
lories  and  deserters — killed  twelve  aiid  captured  twenty- 
Hcven.  McDonald  surprised,  captured  ■»  and  burned  Fort 
Lawrence,  on  Beaver  creek,  Mo. ;  oT  its  garrison  killed  ten, 
captured  seventeen,  and  routed  the  rest — about . 25*8 —cap* 
tured  200  Iio^'ses,  300  stand  of  arms,  toii  wagons  and  a  quanti- 
ty of  quartermaster  and  commissary  stores. 

Shelby  captured  and  burnt, the  Fort  at  Ozai-k.  Tke  garri- 
son fl^d.  -With  Sheibv  ar.d  McDonidd  I  attacked  Spring- 
jji^ld.  Mo.,  aad*.after  eight  hours'  hard  fighting,  driving  the 
Yankees  before  me  and  into  their  strongholds,  I  captured 
one  piece  of  artillery,  (^  pounder,)  a  stockade  fort,  a  largo- 
parfof  the  town,  which  the  yankyes  burnt  as  they  retired. 
At  dark  the  fighting  ceased — Iho  greater  part  of  the  fe<Jei:j^ls 
in  my  possession.  The  federal  force  there  was  4,200.  Myg 
loss  was  '20  killed  and  80  wounded.  Tho  yankce  loss  was 
juueh  greater.  I  dil  no'  dee'u  it  best  to  renew  the  attack,

After  j'Hning  Porter  I  i-uirch'^d  south  easterly,  mnking  my 
way  toward  Arkansas.  At  Hartsvillo  I  met,  fought  and 
drove  in  tl.'e  direction  of  Lebanon  t,600  infantry  and  500
